Montreal Divided

There seems to be a schism developing in Montreal regarding the Canadiens, despite the fact the team is playing well above early projections. That there is such a division is testament to the talent on the team and the optimism surrounding the club. Unf

Dykhuis Called up , Balej sent down

The Canadiens have re-called Karl Dykhuis from the Bulldogs, and sent Jozef Balej back to Hamilton on Monday. Dykhuis is expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday night when the Canadiens play the Pittsburgh Penguins, he will be replacing Francis Bouillon
